For a beginner, ano talaga yung difference? Cheap UNI-T or Aneng vs Fluke 117 — yung pera mahal lang ba dahil sa brand, or may real differencia?

Sa career ko nakapag-handle ako ng tatlong meters — first was a Yoke meter from Raon noong 1989, second a Sanwa, current Fluke 117. Mga differences na tangible:
  • Input protection — yung Fluke nag-saved sa akin once when I accidentally probed mains while in current mode. Cheap meter would have exploded.
  • Accuracy on AC current — yung mura, off by 10-20% sometimes. Fluke parang 1%.
  • Response time on transients — Fluke catches sudden dips, cheap meter just averages and you miss the issue.
  • Build quality — pwede mong ihulog without worry.
Pero yung beginner-only use cases (DC voltage, continuity, basic resistance), wala namang pinagkaiba talaga yung output. Question is: kelan ka mag-uupgrade?
